No seal is compleatly water tight.
Get water in the hubs regularly on the landrover, hot bearing, cold river and water will be sucked into the hub. On a road car puddles are enough to cause it. Landrover being conventional tapper bearings the answer is to strip and clean regularly. Sealed bearings it's renew as nessesary. Sealed bearings on the caravan pit while stood. I have taken to changing them every 2 years with £16 bearings rather than the £56 Alko bearings which pit in 3 years anyway. As I have said I remove brake pads/ shoestrogen and spin the hub with no load to determine the amount of pitting by the whir the bearing makes. Paul. |

Thanks Paul. Car is nine years old 115k miles.
The bearing I had replaced this week was replaced under warranty in the car's first year after I whacked a kerb in the snow. So I don't get why the same one has failed in terms of its seal, and none of the others. Can these be damaged when fitting like driver shaft seals on the gearbox? I wonder whether it's been on its way out for years. |

Its easy to damage a bearing or the seal when fitting or it might have been a cheaper quality bearing fitted or you could have just been unlucky . I had a front bearing replaced on my wifes car by a so called mechanic some years ago while I was laid up after surgery. He said he had to take the hub to his workplace and use the 10 ton press to get the bearing in . Now I asked myself what part of the bearing did he press on ? It failed after a couple of months and I replaced it myself after that using heat on the hub the new bearing just dropped in and lasted years .

I suspect maybe it got slightly damaged when fitted, and it's taken all these years to finally give up. |

If you want decent quality but can't stretch to the Volvo prices, SKF from Autodoc is a good compromise.
